[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the night prayer for nine nights until one-third of the night. Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you had hastened this prayer, it would have been possible for our congregation." And in the narration of Ibn al-Munadi, it would have been more excellent for our night prayer. After that, Ali ibn Zaid ibn Jud'an performed it individually, although he was not strong.  

أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ تِسْعَ لَيَالٍ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ أَنَّكَ عَجَّلْتَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ لَكَانَ أَمْكَنَ لِقَائِمِنَا وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ الْمُنَادِي لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ لِقِيَامِنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَعَجَّلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
